The moment he was fined for not being connected to the sewer line I feel like all his future actions were justified.

[@slickstrings]

in the years since finding out about this guy ive read and watched everything i could and i can tell you now, he was a nutcase and a liar. his own friends said he used to laugh at getting away with dumping sewage out the back illegally. an agreement he broke when he purchased the place. he wasnt unaware, he just decided to break it. the city gave him 12 years i think to fix it and even offered to install a septic tank for cheap. he refused. his shop was never going to be cut off access wise. he had other incomes from other businesses he owned... he was not in any way in financial trouble. if he was so annoyed he could have sold the place, made a huge profit, had enough money to retire probably and lived off his other incomes, he even inherited his dads money. end of the day, he convinced himself of these crazy wrong doings and talked himself into some religious insanity and expended a huge amount of money and effort to be destructive, when he could have just walked away with fistfuls of cash. he was just a loonie.

[@slickstrings]

@Roon facts dont care about your feelings. Just because you are ignorant to reality and want to believe that he was some rebelling hero doesnt make it true. Deal with it.

[@slickstrings]

@Roon oh you think i just made it all up? Well ive done the research out of interest. You havnt. Here is a brief run down to cure your ignorance. Marvin bought the property which did not have a sewer line. The sewer line was not cut off. It never had one. He began illegally discharging sewage out the back. He laughed about how he was getting away with it to his friends. This went on for years. The town finally told him to fix it, either by connecting to town sewer or by septic tanks. He refused. The concrete plant even offered to assist by letting him run it through their property. He refused. He got fined. Derrp. Concrete plant wants to expand. Offers to buy his property. He agreed, then raises the price. They agree, he raises the price. This happened several times. They got sick of him stuffing them around and bought the property next door. Marvin, angry that he didnt get his way began trying to legally prevent the expansion. Making lots of claims. These claims were rejected, by the town, marvin loses his mind, concludes that he is on a mission from god, sells the property for a massive profit, then spends a year of his life building a dozer to destroy the town. He spent 12 years knowingly breaking the law by dumping raw sewage and had many options and lots of time to correct it. He NEVER lost access to his shop. That was a lie. His livelihood was never threatened and when he went on his rampage, he attempted to shoot several people, only missing them by luck, probably due to the difficulty inside that thing. He was not trying to avoid killing. Thats another internet whitewash. Ive listened to all his 2.5 hours of rambling tapes. He was a nutcase who convinced himself of his own delusions and funnily enough, never talks about losing access to his property. This is the reality. Just because you want to think he was some wrong done hero doesn not change the actual factual events. Deal with it.

[@toakongu1]

The guy that owned the concrete plant was part of a larger family that was basically considered "old money" in Granby while Marvin had moved there only recently. This family in particular (Dokachev I think??) owned several businesses in the town and had seats on the city council. They were the driving force behind the issues Marvin had with the town and it finally drove him to what he called righteous fury. He truly believed that God had allowed him to complete the machine and would protect him.

[@MasterBlaster220]

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Concrete as a business is basically run by local cartels simply by its nature. Due to the restrictions on distance each area needs a local concrete plant so any new companies already face stiff competition you can’t just find an area without one locally and set up shop like you can in basically any other industry. Add on the fact that any and all modern construction uses large amounts of the stuff and you have VERY powerful people passing on VERY entrenched businesses to their kids who are VERY used to getting their way.

This man resorted to the use of construction equipment to destroy the property of those whom wronged him, and ONLY those that did. He caused millions of dollars in damage, similar to the major loss of revenue for his shop. This man justifications, while extreme, can be understood. This man has earned my respect; as much as I love my country, the sight of corruption makes me sick, especially when one fights back peacefully but fails to get their justice. This story should not necessarily be a call to make a bunch of armored bulldozers and destroy a bunch of stuff (although that WOULD be cool), but a call to stand up when those in power try and abuse us, and to put our foot down and let them know we are not inferior; we are their equal.

[@NerdilyDone]

I'm listening to his tapes now, and the harshest part of all this is that he didn't buy the land for himself. He had purchased it for a friend of his, but then that friend backed down and he was stuck with it, so he just figured he'd make his shop there on the land. Also, apparently he wanted to be caught building the dozer. He thought it would be a sign that he didn't have to go on his rampage. He figured that if he was meant to be stopped, he would be, and that wherever the dozer was stopped, that was where God meant it to stop.

[@literallyshaking8019]

There’s something to that “God didn’t want him to be stopped” mentality. I picked up on this when I watched the documentary “Tread” (which is on KZbin and is fantastic with lots of rare photos and accounts of Marvin). At the beginning of his “rampage” the guy who owned the concrete plant right next to Marvins shop, and who his main beef was with, noticed the Killdozer breaking out of the shop and heading towards the batch plant that had just been built. He had a similar sized bulldozer on site and figured he’d jump in it to try and block Marvin (which would’ve ended it right then and there before any damage could be done) but in his own words on tape, he kept trying to jump up into it and kept falling like it was covered in oil or Vaseline, and after a couple attempts he gave up and then got in a much smaller loader which ended up being far too light to do anything and he backed off. To me that could definitely be interpreted as “divine intervention”

If I had to guess, like many rural towns, the local Masons run the show. Most businesses are owned by a lodge brother, and it's not uncommon for many of the municipal officials to be a members as well. This includes law enforcement. The local media, such as newspapers, TV/radio stations are, if not owned; monitored by them. Also, almost all the town's water council will be headed by a member. In the town I'm from, they reached all the way into the school system. With only a few exceptions, every male employee in my school was a Mason. Principal, teachers, coaches, and administration were from the local, or a neighboring town lodge. There was even a scandal. Apparently, one of the administrators used school funds on a trip to Vegas. At first, the only repercussions he was faced was paid suspension. Only when the parents in PTA meeting started bringing in outside news organizations, is when they finally terminated him. But, in legal regards, he should've went to prison for misappropriation of funds and misuse of position. The story quickly disappeared. Bound by oath, they look out for each other. And being a Mason, they have many political connections. If any outsider, such as Marvin, crosses one; he is crossing many. This story and it's characters (business owners,police, courts officials, the water council enforcing the sewage regulations, and even the newspaper editor, etc) parallels a town with Masonic oversights.

So a guy owns a business...someone else opens a factory next to his business...the factory construction destroys several key aspects of the business, including just getting to it...and then the business owner gets fined for everything the factory construction did. ...Now, I'm not saying I condone what the business owner did, but I get why he did it.

If you remove all options to reason, to talk and to come to a reasonable agreement that works for everyone, you don't leave many other options if you ask me.

[@mikenovak5960]

This was the ultimate example of "punching up" A corrupt city council in bed with a business, to exercise shady re-zone tactics, both conspiring to make blue-collar man's life a living hell. Cutting off his sewer and water, then FINING HIM for it? That's all I needed to hear to sympathize with Marvin. This is why masculinity is being shamed: Look at what a single man, with proper motivation, is capable of. He deserves a statue.

[@notsocoolguy8492]

No. Not a statue. A *COLOSSUS.*

[@adampilarski201]

Do you know what's even crazier? The spot re-zoning they did was illegal under Colorado state law but because no one knew about it or complained within 30 days it became law.

[@StrongandGrand]

@@adampilarski201 When you look at how dirty they did Marvin, it's not crazy at all. Small town politics, poli-tricks, handshakes and handjobs. Marvin didn't have a chance. He made a goddamn good counterpoint, though.

[@DoctorWhy777]

I thought this Guy was insane but after listening to what they did to him who wouldn't go postal.

[@kevintemple245]

Yeah, the MSM never gave him a fair shake in their reporting. He was branded a lunatic by them without ever digging into his side of the story. I thought he was just a nut until I saw Rob Dyke's video on him and looked deeper. Dank nailed the research on this one.

[@ridemyicicle7424]

The MSM? Not doing any real research? Color me surprised, lads

[@bigdbigooo7829]

Yeah because the MSM had us believe he was just a nut. That's why MSM is bullshit.

Looking at his wiki they're still trying to paint him poorly. "when he chose to improperly dump sewage from his business instead of connecting to the city sewer system" Yeah I'm sure he really had a choice

[@BillyBob-qu1fs]

Someone needs to change that I can’t since I made funny jokes on the curious George wiki page (don’t ask)

[@Silvia_Arienti]

[@damienfinnegan8272]

you should edit the wiki

[@littlehollow]

Well... wiki isn't really a reliable source as it can be changed by anyone with authorization to it. It's good for fictional characters and some historical content, but all in all... wiki isn't reliable.

[@SergeantKillGore]

I like to think that the people who visited his shop and saw the dozer didn’t have clouded judgement and instead chose not to say anything because they knew that Marvin was just a good man driven past the brink.

[@overdrive6687]

Honestly, if I went to his muffler shop and saw that behemoth of machinery I don’t think I’d even realize what it was, nor his intentions.

[@alexg4711]

Well who would think that anybody would do something like that

[@wtp7631]

You gotta remember, he built them separately and used a crane to lower his tomb down on him. I assume the weight of it held it it place. And he was talking about building the road, so its really not that unusual for the stuff to be there.

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

Let's face it everyone has a crazy thing in their garage but you do not ask questions to be polite...

[@Halfstep2024]

He actually explains in his tapes how he explained the projects secrecy to people. He told them that he was working on a project for someone (military, govt, huge Corp etc) that would increase fuel efficiency of large machines and nobody could see it until the patents were done. Or something of that nature and since nobody had a reason not to think Marv could do something like this nobody questioned it.

[@waterhead1029]

He was obviously a very skilled tradesman who had talents not valued by the soft handed, cheap oxford wearing dandies downtown. They likely looked down at him as "The pissed off Muffler Man" while choking him, and underestimated him. As Ahnold said, "Bad Idea".
